To cater to the growing number of Singaporeans working the night shift in the area. Surveys have also backed up the need for such an outlet, said NTUC FairPrice chairman Ng Ser Miang.
The supermarket giant will also pump in another $40 million to expand and upgrade its chain of stores.
It will spend $12 million on four new supermarkets, $11 million to renovate existing stores, and the rest on upgrading IT systems and warehousing.
Touchscreens at checkout points, for example, are expected to be rolled out to all FairPrice outlets by August. This will help to cut down waiting time for each transaction by about 15 per cent.
'There is no better time to to grow the business and embark on improving customer service,' said Mr Ng, at the launch. 'We have to deal with the recession positively.'
The guest of honour, Mr Lim Boon Heng, Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, reiterated the role of FairPrice in his speech. 'FairPrice was set up to combat profiteering' and is not 'driven by the prodit motive', he said.

He is such an ignorant clown. Go to some of those NTUC "upmarket" branch and you see those green vegetables sold in small pack for nearly $10. A bunch of grapes cost more than $5, and many items they can't match economical supermart, Carrefeur, at Plaza Singapura.

NTUC always got the best location, especially at MRT, no need to bid ones. If this is not considered corrupt, i don't know what's it. If they got the guts, then they should open one at Ten Miles, not Sheng Siong.
